hi,
just recently started using wbfs to load of usb hdd, using usb gx, my question is, after i've loaded games to hdd thru wbfs, can i delete old iso off my hdd, does wbfs make excat copy of game??
when i did extract iso through wbfs on f1 2009 it made file only 200mb i took off hdd and put back on to try and load it but it didnt work does this mean u cant remove once loaded???
First off explane to me why you would create duplicate threads? Also your saying you want to remove the game iso off your HDD but yet still be able to load it? It doesnt work like that. When you place a game onto the HDD using that program, it will automatically scrub it into a smaller size and place it on the drive. Then you simply play it. If you want the game removed, you can simply remove it.
Duplicate thread removed.
I retain a copy of all my ISOs just to be safe. Extracting the ISO from WBFS manager should re-assemble to a burnable ISO but you'll need to be able to play scrubbed games to actually run it in this state. Not 100% sure why some people can't play scrubbed games and some can.
@ tealc..... Your the 2nd person that doesnt understand why some people cant play scrubbed games. I have heard about that but myself dont understand it. When I first hacked my wii back in may, a friend sent me all the files I needed and helped me do it. He told me that as long as I stayed at 3.2 I wouldnt have to worry about my scrubbed games no longer working, but yet he never told me why.
sorry dude isp went down didnt realise so clicked twice to reload thread,Quote:

btw @Tealc i donated to forums i just wondering why doesnt show up in my profile??
first off no need to be rude!!! don't need to explain accidents!!!:eek:Quote:

Any ISO you extract from WBFS Manager should re-assemble as a 4.37GB file and not a 200MB one, or at least it has done when I extracted all my ISOs a while back.
Jason - I never really spent too much time researching the scrubbed game issue as it didn't affect me with my Wiikey2. Before WBFS became the way to load games scrubbed games were almost rare, these days everything is scrubbed and full ISOs seem to be very uncommon.
dude i'm using 3.2e softmod, would that make a diffrence?? what options did you use to extract?? full or update removal?? only game partition?Quote:
